An unknown error has occurred when you try to access your App Store account is a problem not limited to iHack. Genuine Mac owners experience same issue regardless OS X version. There are several scenarios that can cause this problem and also several solutions:

- You swapped your main HDD/SSD and used cloning software in process - You just installed OS X from scratch and OS X doesn't support your LAN natively and you are forced to use 3rd party or edited kext to make it work - Your SMBIOS.plist doesn't contain valid serial number - Your org.chameleon.Boot.plist doesn't contain this:

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>

So how to solve this problem? Well luckily Apple recognise this and provides official solution:

- delete all interfaces in system preferences/network pane- delete Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/Networkinterfaces.plist and com.apple.network.identification.plist- reboot- add ethernet interface in system preferences/network and configure it if necessary- optionally add all other interfaces you might need, like firewire, com etc.- wait a few seconds for Eth interface to initialise- log in to your app store account and enjoy

iHack solution:

- Apply official Apple solution- make sure you have valid serial number in SMBIOS.plist ( use Chameleon Wizard to create one )- make sure org.chameleon.Boot.plist contains this code:

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Valid SMBIOS serial number will also solve problem with TeamViewer "access to the teamViewer server had been denied"
